SMOKE IN THE MIRROR
songer.co/song/yo0fzxviemznpn1djgo9w8ts
[Intro]
Smoke in the mirror, haunting my sight,
Shadows whisper secrets in the dead of night.
Face don’t fit in this cracked reflection,
Searching for a sign, but it’s just rejection.
[Verse 1]
Heroes crash with a hit and a hiss,
Life's a gamble while we play like this.
Gold teeth shine, but their glow is dim,
Dead eyes stare, where did the hope go in?
Still begging for a lullaby,
As the world spins on, I wonder why.
I won’t bow, I won’t stay, no—no—
Cut the chain, walk away,
[Chorus]
No reverse, no rewind,
This is it, this is mine.
Not sorry, man,
This ain’t your light;
I burn because I’m alive.
[Verse 2]
He died a god in gold and praise,
But never let the fire blaze.
Desire, ego, all that pain,
Still in his pocket—yeah, when he stepped off that train.
I don’t want to disappear,
Just want to live loud and clear,
[Repeat Chorus]
No reverse, no rewind,
This is it, this is mine.
Not sorry, man,
This ain’t your light;
I burn because I’m alive.
[Bridge]
One way out…
One way down…
Pick a mask… or pick a crown.
Light it up
Or fade to black,
You choose,
You can’t go back.
[Outro]
No reverse…
No rewind…
No—no rewind…
Note: Tribute to Kurt Cobain (Nirvana); His desires and the demons he couldn’t shake.
